How to use Aria’s new capabilities in Opera One

@antreiou Yes and no. Every time I write a song, or a poem, I reassemble words and notes of music that I have learned - and it is almost impossible to write a totally original piece that makes much sense - I think this is why artists like David Bowie resorted to cutting up bits of paper with words on them, throwing them in the air, and seeing where they fell. Likewise, the Beatles came up with some randomly stoned psychedelic gems like 'Plasticine porters with looking glass eyes' that owe a lot to the long British tradition of the 'Nonsense' and the 'Absurd' - that Lewis Carrol and Edward Lear started.
I can write something original, but only if it is Nonsense! -

@antreiou: In that contest, every artist in the world stole from past artists! Don't we all learn before we create? Isn't that what AI is doing? Nobody was born a great artist from birth. To create something new, you have to learn first. That is the basis for medicine, law, engineering, science, and yes art! AI learns then creates. That should not stop you from doing what you love. It's like being mad there are other artists besides you in the world.

I'm worried about the environmental impact of AI. Does Opera have any policy about disclosing their carbon footprint?

Thank you to the Opera team for their hard work in implementing these useful new features.
Now the working with Opera browser is even more convenient! -

@waplesmaples Frankly, I don't give a damn about carbon footprints, and neither should you - there is only so much carbon around and if it turns into plastic, that is rather inert and harmless. Much as pebbles of limestone contain carbon - or even concrete. If you are worried about carbon footprints, you probably have too much time on your hands and fail to understand chemistry - after all, it is a building block of life:
According to Aria: "A 100 kg human body contains approximately:18.5 kg of carbon
This carbon is primarily found in the form of organic compounds within the body's tissues and cells.
Carbon is a fundamental element found in all living organisms, including humans. It plays a crucial role in the structure of biological molecules such as proteins, fats, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids that are essential for life processes." -

@RMKAY Looks like I hit a nerve for you here. Carbon emissions have been proven for many decades to be a significant driver of our climate crisis, and research into the environmental impact of AI has shown possible worrying outcomes. As another commenter mentioned, it looks like the team behind Opera is doing its best to mitigate climate concerns. But for a bit more context on the issue, I would recommend watching this video from PBS News Hour: https://youtu.be/VOezW-b_mD8?t=118&si=yVvp9zpT5fqII492

@waplesmaples I think one needs to consider the long view here, which is that a mere 20,000 years ago, much of Europe was covered by vast ice sheets, and was uninhabitable. Nobody can explain why the ice melted, so unless the scientists can explain it, their opinions are actually useless.
CO2 is a brilliant fertilizer, and deserts are blooming as CO2 levels increase. -

@RMKAY Unless you are personally a climate scientist, I see no reason to consider your arguments significant. If you are a climate scientist, please let me know where I can find your research.

@waplesmaples I'm not a climate scientist, and I will trust them only when they can explain how we escaped from the last Ice Age so recently, if they cannot do that simple little thing, then why should be trust them to predict the next 20,000 years climate, exactly?

@wry-toast: Agree, it's even worse than other similar tools in this sense. It blocks some prompts for image generation without any reason...

Any way to add other models to our side bar? We have Aria and OpenAI and I would like to see Claude.ai, Huggingface Chat and Gemini from Google. Would be awesome to access them on the side bar.

Why every time when I ask Aria to generate image it give me this answer "This request violates our Terms of Service. Please enter a different query." and I am 100% sure there isn't anything wrong with my prompts.

@rmkay: Are you comparing the capacity of humans of taking existing elements, reassembling them by accessing to their reach subconscious built upon emotion, experience, culture, study, to an algorithm that does nothing else that outputting a copy of an existing style? Oh boy.
This myth that what AI does is not different from what human do is worth only of 5th grade thinkers. The rest of us understand too well that AI has nothing to do with creativity but just marketing.
Is it useful? Sure, for some things. Is there any actual Art in it? Not even a chance and people who believe the opposite are simply lacking basic education to understand why.
Maybe it's time for this AI acolytes to pick up some real Art book and stop reading/believing all the mantra they read on the Internet.

@rmkay: @rmkay: The Ice age ended as the Suns intensity increased within the Suns regular solar activity, This generated greater cloud cover and increased earths temp, The suns intensity is currently waning and yet the air temperature and ocean temp is increasing, If you are able to read words and understand basic scientific concepts , consult the UNs Climate change reports for the same conclusion from every top leading scientist on earth who does not take money from fossil fuel patronage.
